Abstract: The American Mathematical Monthly has published over fifty papers on the Gamma function, factorials, or Stirling's formula.* In this talk I review (some of!) what's been said, identify some surprising lacunae, and give some easy new results. Some of this work was joint with Jonathan M. Borwein.

*One of the papers won its author, Philip J. Davis, the Chauvenet Prize in 1963. Another paper's author, Manjul Bhargava, won the 2014 Fields Medal. Other notable authors include Richard Askey, Bruce Berndt, and Walter Rudin.
